How this is calculated
We search the Property Price Register for closed sales near this property — matching by location, beds, property type, and where available, floor area (±20%). This gives us a set of genuinely comparable transactions.
Each sale is then time-adjusted to today using local price trends, so a sale from 18 months ago is inflated (or deflated) to reflect current market conditions. Where floor area is known, sales are also size-adjusted — a 90m² sale is normalised to what it would have sold for at this property's size. This means the figures you see aren't raw prices — they're what those same homes would likely sell for today, at this size.
Your bid strategy (opening offer, sealed bid range, walk-away ceiling) is then derived from the statistical distribution of these adjusted sales — with conservative safety margins applied when data is thin or dated.
Every figure comes from actual government-recorded sale prices. No asking prices, no agent estimates, no automated valuations.

Methodology
Closed sales time-adjusted to current market · size-weighted where floor area available · no asking prices or agent estimates used.
How adjustments work
- —Older sales inflated to current market level so stale data doesn't skew bands
- —Similar-sized properties weighted more heavily where floor area is known
- —Local price trends factored in when sufficient data exists; no artificial uplift otherwise
- —All figures from registered closed sales only — no asking prices, no agent estimates
Local Market Notes
Property Quality
Significant BER Upgrade Opportunity: With a BER F rating, this 80m² bungalow could see substantial improvements. Upgrading to a B2 rating would likely cost between €15,000-€25,000 (for insulation, heating upgrades) but could increase the property's value by €20,000-€30,000.
Details
- High Energy Costs: An F-rated BER property of this size is estimated to incur annual energy costs of €2,000-€2,500, which is significantly higher compared to a B-rated property of similar size, typically costing €800-€1,200 annually, representing potential savings of €1,000-€1,700 per year post-upgrade.
- Below Local Bathroom Standard: While the property matches the median 3 bedrooms found in the 10km radius, its single bathroom falls below the local median of 2 bathrooms, potentially impacting its appeal to families and its competitive position.
- Hypothesis: Strategic investment in BER upgrades, potentially coupled with adding a second bathroom to align with local median standards, would not only enhance marketability but could also yield a higher return on investment than the cost of renovations, unlocking greater buyer appeal and valuation.
Amenities
Regional Bus Connectivity: The property benefits from Bus Éireann Route 182, which provides connections from Collon to Drogheda and Monaghan, offering public transport options for regional travel.
Details
- Local Essentials and Education: Collon village offers key local amenities including Collon National School for primary education and a Centra convenience store, providing immediate daily necessities.
- Healthcare and Recreation Access: Local healthcare needs are met by Collon Pharmacy and a GP in Collon, while Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital in Drogheda (approximately 15km away) serves as the main hospital, complemented by Collonwood Forest for outdoor leisure activities.
- Hypothesis: While Collon offers essential village amenities, the property's value is enhanced by its strategic road access to the N2 for Dublin/Northern routes, appealing to buyers seeking a rural lifestyle with convenient regional connectivity rather than extensive local public transport.
